Oh right... but what do you like most about him?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I guess that he's such a playful little boy who has such a close attachment to his big sister.

FurryFan92

Kinda sounds like the relationship between Paul and Peggy, huh?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea, kind of like that, or the brotherly relationship between Takuya and Minoru from the manga/anime series Baby & Me

FurryFan92

Never heard of it. What is that?

Here's a summary of the first episode

Takuya Enoki loses his mother, Yukako, when she dies in a car accident. Takuya now lives with his father, Harumi, and his baby brother, Minoru. Takuya's baby brother is only two years old and requires much care. Although Takuya is only a fifth grader, he cooks, cleans, sews, scolds, and does everything that is normally a mother's job. Between his housework and looking after his baby brother, Takuya begins to feel a helpless gap between his friends who have fun every day after school. The Kimura family blame him for Minoru's constant crying. His stress gradually builds up and bursts at a point. Because of a mistake Minoru made, Takuya reacts violently. He cannot help feeling upset over Minoru, who is stressing him and taking up all his time.

One day, when Takuya picks Minoru up from preschool, he starts to walk faster imagining what it would be like to leave his little brother behind him. But soon, Takuya realizes what he has done and runs back. He finds Minoru with his eyes full of tears and a brutal dog is blocking Minoru's way. Takuya dashes in full speed and saves his little brother. After coming home and seeing Minoru sobbing, Takuya realizes that Minoru cries because he is just lonely and becomes ashamed of himself. From then on, Takuya learns to love his little brother as family and his long life story of being a mother and a brother at once begins.

Oh wow. So you're not just into furry stuff?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea, I watch some anime here and there. I'm watching Kimba and Ranma 1/2 at the moment.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I think I'd be more interested in Kimba given it was basis for The Lion King, and it's an old anime. The older classics are so much better, don't you think?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I suppose it depends on your preference. Anime back when Kimba the white Lion (Jungle Emperor Leo in Japan) was not as popular compared to when it hit big in the 80s and 90s, but it certainly did have its trailblazers like Osamu Tezuka who created Kimba and Astro Boy and a plethora of other notable Mangas and animes .

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Really?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea. They may have had their fans back then, but anime didn't explode into the mainstream as much as it did in the 80s when more animes came out with quality animation to them. I'm sure you've noticed how Kimba is quite limited in its animation fluidity

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Really?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea, if you look at the animation of Kimba compared to stuff made in the 80s, you'd see some stark contrast in frames per second

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I think I'm starting to like Kimba though to be honest. Sure Disney stole from it for The Lion King, but Kimba's a really interesting show.

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I'd agree. It deals in more with the balance of jungle law and dealing with humans and trying to befriend them. Not to mention some more darker themes.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Plus Cub Kimba's VA kind of sounds more like the person who voiced Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. You familiar with the Rankin/Bass specials?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Oh of course I am. Though Billy Lou Watt (Kimba's voice) did not voice Rudolph. That would of been Canadian voice actress Billie Mae Richardson who also voiced Tenderheart Bear in movies 1 and 2 and Bright Heart Raccoon later in the Care Bears Family series.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Though was Kimba's English VA in any other cartoons/animes or none you can recall?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Well, before that, Billy also did voices for the English dub of Astro Boy voicing the boy himself. She even worked on the English dub of the anime Gigantor

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Really?

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Really? She voiced those characters before Kimba?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea, Astro Boy and Gigantor were done before Kimba was done since both those animes were in black and white.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

And Kimba was in color?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yep, its considered the first anime in color.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

But I think I'm starting to like it Blaze. Kimba's interactions with humans and introductions of human customs to the jungle are very interesting what do you think?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Its certainly an interesting premise for a series of animals trying to adapt to the ways of humans that you don't see very often.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

And you think that makes Kimba stand out?

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Do you have any favorite episodes from the series?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I've only gotten around to 14-15 episodes so far, I gotta watch more before I pick one.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

But does Kimba stand out as an anime about animals?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Sure.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I guess I like the old-school Kimba a lot. Who cares if Disney ripped it off for Lion King? It's a great anime nonetheless, wouldn't you say so?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Its a pretty cool anime.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yeah it's very interesting, how Kimba tries to introduce human customs and culture to the jungle and has to deal with antagonistic animals, and despite being a kid, he's still the leader of the animals. Tom and Tab kind of sound like Banzai and Ed, don't they?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Eh, a little bit, though I think they're much more dimwitted compared to Banzi and Ed.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

But still Tom and Tab are very funny! I mean, they're hilarious!

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea, they can be silly.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yeah, though Kimba can be funny when he's angry wouldn't you say?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

What do you mean by that if I may ask.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

This is from the later episodes, I'm not sure if you watched them yet. I really love classic Kimba. It's one of the few old-school animes without dark/evil themes.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Also episode 42 is funny when Tom and Tab call out Kimba for hypocrisy. They say, "You should practice what you preach!"

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Ok.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

How far have you gotten in Kimba?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I watched about 20 episodes, though for some reason not all episodes are on Pluto TV. I may have to check around to see if all the episodes are on Retro Crush, which supplies Pluto with the episodes.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Is that a YouTube channel?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Retro Crush does have a Youtube channel, but its a streaming service where you watch the full episodes and its free. Pluto TV is also a streaming service, but also has its own channel system like live tv that you can watch shows and they'd have commercial breaks to them and such. It too is also free.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Is it really?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yea, you can go to both sites and watch for free. I'm doing it. (For Pluto)

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Is Kimba the only old-school anime you watch?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I also watch Ranma 1/2

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

But between that one and Kimba, what's better?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I like Kimba more cause I like animals. but Ranma is a pretty funny show in its own right. It even inspired my character Mei-Lin

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I guess you're not a fan of the darker animes are you?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I guess that depends on the anime in question. What do you consider "Dark" anime?

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Basically anything with Occult/violent themes.

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Well, I do like me some violent media for sure. I do play M rated games and watch M rated movies. I wouldn't mind some in anime. I guess it depends on what anime draws me in. I'm told Berserk is a pretty dark and amazing series.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Does any of the old '80s animes like Voltron and Robotech fit that bill?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I think so. They're action packed, but maybe not as violent as Berserk since thats more on the level of adult and Voltron and Robotech seem more Teenager/older teenager demographic.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

What's that show about?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Its about a boy who fell into a cursed hot spring (as well as his father) that turns him into a girl whenever he touches cold water and back into a boy when touching hot water. His father a panda with the same effects of water as well.

He is arranged in marriage to his fathers friends who has three daughters and the youngest Akane was the one that was selected. The two cant stand each other, with Akane getting into comedic outburst and attacking Ranma, but the two learn to cooperate and get along as the series progress. It takes place in their dojo home in the 80s as well as the high school they both go to and they get into some conflicts with other kooky characters along the way like a guy who is terrible at directions, a helpless lovestruck Shakespearian samurai, and a cheerleader who uses clubs and her ribbon to fight to name a few.

The series was created by a female Manga artist named Rumiko Takahashi, she is also famous for the manga Inuyasha

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

I think that was a Toonami anime, wasn't it?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

If it was, It must of been during a time I wasn;t watching the block. I've rarely watched it when I was young since it was up past my bedtime. I caught maybe one broadcast of Dragon Ball Z back in the day, but that was about it.

FurryFan92

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Oh really?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yep, pretty much. I even remember recording some of it on a VHS way back in the early 2000s when recording a Grim and Evil episode on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays.

I know the more off-white yellowish diaper is to distinguish it from his fur, but I’m loving that look!

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

@ Xixxored

Thats pretty much it, its so that he has a bit of different color to help him stand out.

FoxyIbLover

3 years, 10 months ago

cute

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yep, he's a little cutie for sure.

FoxyIbLover

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yeah, especially with that diaper and doll! :-)

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yep, a cute color to give him some more standout features. His plush is one that he loves since his sister Lakeisha gave it to him when they adopted him.

FoxyIbLover

3 years, 10 months ago

link

A little color cheers things up and how adorable, is she his adoptive sister?

BlazeHeartPanther

Lakeisha is the older sister of Zuberi. He was adopted into her panther family while he is a rare white lion cub.

FoxyIbLover

Aha, I see, kinda of like Kimba?

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Well, I was inspired by Kimba the White Lion for sure, but just that I wanted to make a white lion as a contrast to the Howls Angels in Pink Panther and Sons who are all lions just to show that not all lions are bad.

FoxyIbLover

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Aha. That's very kind of you. ;-)

BlazeHeartPanther

3 years, 10 months ago

link

Yep, and that's why I also am making OCs of other feline species besides panthers and a lion too, so be on the lookout for my others to show up in the near future.
